Keratinootsüütidega

Keratinootsüütidega refers to keratinocytes, which are the main type of cell found in the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. These cells are responsible for producing keratin, a tough, fibrous protein that provides structure and protection to the skin, hair, and nails. Keratinocytes are formed in the basal layer of the epidermis and then migrate upwards, undergoing a process of differentiation and keratinization. As they move towards the surface, they flatten and eventually die, forming a protective barrier. This continuous cycle of cell formation and shedding is crucial for maintaining skin health and integrity. Dysregulation of keratinocyte behavior can lead to various skin conditions, such as psoriasis and eczema.
